PER ASN.1 encoding of Sequence Of Elements - Boundary Conditions

Hi All,

Is it a valid situation if a "Sequence Of" element is encoded with number of components as 0? PER rules dictate that the lower bound on the number of components is set to 0, if lower bound is not explicitly defined. Since the minimum is 0, one can encode the "Sequence Of" element with 0 components.

What would it mean to encode a Sequence Of with no components encoded? In this case, though, there may be a few bits added to the field list for the length determinant of Sequence Of with value 0.

Thanks Manoj.
